Mr.. Hezekiah Gudger was in Rail

session of Grand Lodge of Masons,
but while there he took a squin

ground. To say that he is pleased
with the general appearance of
things would probably be putting
it too strong-yet he cannot tell
just what the outcome will be in rez
gard to certain measures of much
impor tance to the people of this
immediate section; he hopes for the
best, but sees the possibilities of
legislation that may seriously affect
many of the good people of Bun

The Hawley property, corner Of
Woodfin and Charlotte streets, has
been bought for the use ofthe Ashe-
vile Hospital, and this institution
will be removed to that place about
the first of next month. This will
give large building and capacious
grounds for the uses of the hospital,
and located i'll the most pleasant

add greatly to the effectiveness of
the Institution In many senses The
management is to be congratulated
on making this arrangement.

The Southern Directory Company
have nearly completed their canvass
of the city for business cards aud
advertisements, and we are glad to
know that only two or three busi-
ness houses will fail to be repfee
sented in their advertising columns.
All should come in as their rates
are very reasonable, and make the
Directory as it should, represent
completely the business of this city
and section.
We learn that JfJftesn white per-
sons, living in teco rooms in a certain
section of Asheville, are down with
the measles. attended by an old la
dy, also a resident of the tlpo rooms.
We are not so much surprised at
the party having the measles. as
this is prevailing in town to a great
er or less extent, but we are aston
ished to find such a number of peo-
pie living inso small a space. This
might possibly come under the
head of cruelty to animals.

MINNESOTA AND THE TARIFF.
A Growing Sentiment Against Pro-
lection Principles.
From Che Washington Post,

from the washington Post.
Representative Macdonald, of Minnesota,
who succeeds Mr.. Strait in the House of
Representatives, is at Wizards for a few
days. He has lived in Minnesota more than
thirty years, is an able lawyer, has served
in the Legislature and the judicature of the
State, and understands the politics, not only
of Minnesota, but of the whole Northwest
very well. The turn in favor of Democracy,
which was shown by Minnesota in the cleo
tons of last fall when three Republican
Congressman were displaced bv three Dem
ocrats, according to Mr.. Macdonald is
likely enough to be maintained in the Pres-
Dental election next year. ''In 1884" said
Mr.. Macdonald to a Post reporter yester-
day, Blaine carried Minnesota by 40, 900
majority, while last year the Republican
majority for Governor was only 1000,
and if the Republicans in their State
convention had not declared against
the protective tariff the Demo
Gratis would have carried the State Now
1t seems to me the Republicans of the coun-
try are growing more raDid in favor of pro-
lection, and that they are likely to declare
for protection in their national platform
next year. If they do, the Democrats will
carry Minnesota and possibly some other
Northwestern States. They can only hold
them little longer by adopting Democratic
principles. The whole Northwest is against
the protection idea; the farmers don't know
what they gain by it, and therefore, the
Democratic party is steadily gaining Even
Pennsylvania is advancing. The result of
the State Con Vention recently held was not
gratifying to the Randall men. 1t seems to
me anyhow, that the Democratic party
should not allow itself to be swerved from
its national and proper course by so small
factor as Pennsylvania"
"Who are the Presidential candidates
spoken of in MInnesotaw
las things stand at present, there seems
little doubt that Mr.. Cleveland will be re-
nominated. The Democracy of the State is
for him. The majority of the Republicans
are for Blaine, but Sherman has a great
many friends among the politicians, and
while Blaine l believe, would win the dele
cation on a test vote, he will not get it
without m hard contest y

EXPLAINING A MYSTERY.
Strange Insects Cause the Bad Odor
of Electric Lamps


From the Rochester Post Express
"Some one sent letter to the Post E;c-
press few days ago asking if the electric
lights gave out bad odor," said Manager
Redman, of the Brush company, to-day.
"You might tell him that the lamps are the
cause of a bad odor at this time of the wear.
but it does not come from the electric fluid
nor from the burning of the carbons The
explanation is very simple and would be
manifest to your correspondent if he had
ever been present at the cleaning of a lamp
after a warm night. The light attracts
innumerable insects that kill themselves
in contact with the lamp and collect there
by the pintful The mass of decaying ami
NAL matter gives out the offensive odor that
the correspondent complained of. do not
wonder at his complaint, for the stencil is
particularly offensive. In certain situations
we are obliged to protect the lamps with
wire gauze to prevent the winged creatures
from flying against them and interfering
with the light Ever since the introduction
of electric lights here the workmen at the
various works have been wondering at the
strange and varied visitants that come into
the rooms at night Our works at the lower
falls are particularly well situated to at
tract all sorts of creatures that fly by night,
and we have very miscellaneous
cOllectlOn pinned on the walls, after the
fashion of regular entOmologists. The boys
have had some monster moths come in at
night, and all the specimens were duly
pinned to the wall. 1t might interest a col
lector to call and examine our cabinet
Most of these we have, seem to fly alto
gether at night, for they are of kind that
| never see by day. In former years we
frequently caught a large butterfly, but
have not seen one of them this year Per-
haps their season for skirmishing by night
does not arrive until later in the year By
the way, the men at the works occasionally
assume the functions of experimental phi
losophers, and try electrical experiments on
various living creatures, including man.
Cats, dogs and snakes are favorite subjects
for experiment, and the dog or cat that has
once ventured into an electric light works
without a friend to protect him from ex-
perimentalists is likely to go away with such
a lively recollection of his experience that
he will never call again. Dogs or cats that
are given a shock seem to regard it as some
thing unnatural and diabolical-that is if
they have any idea of such things. They
exhibit symptoms Of fear that are not mani
tested when they are hurt by ordinary
means. We caught some snakes in the rocks
near the works and found that a slight
shock was enough to kill them. Great and
small ones never made q movement after
receiving a current"

THE CHINESE SYNDICATE.
What Native Newspaper Says of Mr.
Barker's Great Enterprise.
From the North China Daily Neus.


From the North China Daily Necs
The astonishing concessions and privi-
leges granted to the American combination
of capitalists through Count Mitkiewicz
will, no doubt, remain undisturbed. The
Viceroy LII, great as his authority is, did
not act without imperial sanction. 1t now
appears that negotiations have been pro-
ceeding for about two years.
What influence the new financial institu-
ton will have upon existing foreign banks,
financial and industrial agencies Is. as Sir
Thomas Browne says, mot beyond. conjec-
ture" They may exist, but at disadvan-
tages, and must adapt their tactics to cir
cumstances in good time. No doubt, too
subJectively, the new combination will
have a strong and immediate tendency to
appreciate the value of silver 1t is not
likely that gold will be comprised in any
Chinese scheme of coinage, even if the
auriferous deposits of the Amer, Kirin and
the rivers Ousuri and Sungari are worked
systematically and confirm expectation.
From the Chinese point Of view there is
much TO say theoretically in favor of the
new financial institute. The finances of the
empire just now are absolutely chaotic; it
has become Imperative for the maintenance
OF the empire that some initiatogy scheme
should be tried TO bring the provincial re-
venues under imperial control, and the new
institute, If well managed for n common
advantage and not for plumber and whole
sale exploitation, could he made the means
of establishing at least the semblance of or
derby ways To exist, the empire must
have regular revenue for It's army and
navy, for camps, forts, provincial and sea-
board arsenals, etc, and II the fiscal system
could be put under regulation IL Is con
ceiyable that the revenues now collected
might suffice without further burdening
the people But the change 10 be made 4
vast, and will bo opposed with fierce de
termination.

AN UNREASONABLE QUEEN.
Victorias Dowdy Style of Dressing
Love for I,OM-Nackad Dresses.

NlCLOrld DOWQy Otyle Oh DTe5SiHk-
Love for Low-Necked Dresses.
London Letter to San Francisco Argonaut.
The secret of it is, of course, that the
Queen isn't fashionable. Everybody is glad
to see her when she passes or appears in
public, is willing to doff his hat when the
bond plays "God Save the Queen, to drink
her health whenever it is proposed, and
to give her three cheers whenever the &C.
casion calls for the same. OF course it is
the correct thing and good form, and all
that, to attire ones self in ones smartest
coats, frocks, hats and bonnets, wherever
the Queen is to be; and not to be well and
smartly dressed when she is present would
be the highest of social treason. But the
good form" of the thing OH the one side
and the high Treason on the other would
be not SO much on account Of the Queen as
because of the other swells one would be
sure to meet, and who would never forget
or forgive badly made, questionable or
inappropriate clothing There is sort of
mutual compulsion and restraint, one on
the other. The Queen never sets fashion,
though she may control and keep in bounds
those of others origination-for example,
sleeveless gowns, which she positively for
babe to be worn at court, though they were
worn everywhere else. The possessors of
moulded arms naturally liked to show them,
and the men didn't object to the exhibition.
Though the Queen set her face
against the narrow shoulder-strap it
didn't make it questionable. Oddly
enough Her Majesty doesn't appear to
mind howsow the bodiceS are. | can hardly
fancy any woman being possibly able to
lower her bodice hundredth part of an
inch beneath the line adopted by the Princess
of Wales. She has pretty shoulders, a nice,
smooth neck, and bust which, though
hardly one for sculptor's model, is rounder
and more billowy than those of nine-tenths
of the other decollete dreSsers of high life
For my own part, haven't the least objec-
ton to the low-necked dresses whSch prevail
in England. If they could but be limited
to people with nice necks like the Princess
of Wales and let me mention another, the
Princess Louise-no one would or could
have word to say
didn't think the Queen ever "went in"
for dress. Most decidedly she doesn't go in
for it now The other day, only, down at
the Isle of Wight, at Cowes, or Newport, or
Ryde, she was going about with a lot of
foreign potentates and dignitaries, in a
round dowdy-looking hat! Fancy a Queen,
and one of her age, too, wearing low
crowned hat What the other people must
have thought, l can't begin to say. OF
course, we all know that Indifference to
dress isn't vice; and that woman may
make a good and sensible Queen though she
may not care what she wears. It is not
that. All mean to imply is that the Queens
influence i'll a fashionable sense is nil
Power she may possess to compel people to
abstain from the observance of fashion of
another's creation but influence to guide
them in adopting one of her own sugges-
tions she has not.
